    Detection of fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) in bee bread and bee pollen samples and determination of their functional roles

    Ispirli, Hümeyra; Dertli, Enes

    In this study, bee bread and bee pollen samples were characterized in terms of presence of fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB). Following discrimination and identification of FLAB strains, their functional roles were determined. Genotypic characterization of FLAB strains revealed the presence of 27 distinct strains belonging to Lactobacillus kunkeei (21), Fructobacillus fructosus (3), Lactobacillus plantarum (2), and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (1) strains. In terms of functional roles, all FLAB strains demonstrated high levels of autoaggregation and hydrophobicity properties whereas L. kunkeei and F. fructosus strains did not tolerate bile salts and low pH conditions. A low level of antibiotic resistance was observed among FLAB strains and importantly FLAB strains demonstrated high levels of antibacterial and antifungal activities where strain specific properties played roles. The highest exopolysaccharide (EPS) production yields were obtained for L. kunkeei AP15, AP37 and L. mesenteroides AP-40 which produced 2.79, 2.01, and 5.37 g/L EPS, respectively. Practical applications: Bee bread and bee pollen are among beneficial bee products produced and consumed in all over the world. Production of bee bread relies on the fermentation process of bee pollen where a special LAB group FLAB plays roles. Despite the increment of the importance of these products for human consumption, there is a lack of knowledge for the microbial composition of these products. In this study, FLAB strains were isolated and identified from bee bread and bee pollen samples, and their technofunctional role was determined. The FLAB strains would be evaluated as starter cultures for production of bee products under industrial conditions.

    Baydaş, Yasemin; Kalay, Erbay; Şahin, Engin

    Abstract: Chiral heterocyclic secondary alcohols have received much attention due to their widespread use in pharmaceutical intermediates. In this study, Lactobacillus kefiri P2 biocatalysts isolated from traditional dairy products, were used to catalyze the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones to chiral secondary alcohols. Secondary chiral carbinols were obtained by asymmetric bioreduction of different prochiral substrates with results up to > 99% enantiomeric excess (ee). (R)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol 5a, which can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as bufuralols potent nonselective β-blockers antagonists, Amiodarone (cardiac anti-arrhythmic), and Benziodarone (coronary vasodilator), was produced in gram-scale, high yield and enantiomerically pure form using L. kefiri P2 biocatalysts. The gram-scale production was carried out, and 9.70 g of (R)-5a in enantiomerically pure form was obtained in 96% yield. Also, production of (R)-5a in terms of yield and gram scale through catalytic asymmetric reduction using the biocatalyst was the highest report so far. This is a cost-effective, clean and eco-friendly process for the preparation of chiral secondary alcohols compared to chemical processes. From an environmental and economic perspective, this biocatalytic method has great application potential, making it a green and sustainable way of synthesis.

    Effects of ozone treatment to milk and whey concentrates on degradation of antibiotics and aflatoxin and physicochemical and microbiological characteristics

    Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the ozone treatment (OT) to milk concentrate (MC) and whey concentrate (WC) on the physicochemical and textural properties, as well as, on the microbial, antibiotic, and aflatoxin content. For that purpose, OT was applied to MC and WC samples 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 min. OT (60 min) achieved 18.9 and 9.9% degradation of aflatoxin M1 in MC and WC, respectively. OT caused degradation of β–lactam, and tetracycline in concentrates. Volume mean diameter of MC was increased by OT, those of WC was decreased. The firmness and consistency values of ozone-treated concentrates were lower than the control groups. OT decreased the cohesivity of MC. OT increased the lightness of samples, while it decreased yellowness. In MC and WC samples, OT was effective in reducing the microbial load. The degradation of antibiotics and aflatoxin, and reducing the microbial load of concentrates by OT are crucial for human health and the processing of dairy products.

    An Action Research on Improving Classroom Communication and Interaction in Social Studies Teaching

    Aksoy, Mutlu; Ceylan, Tuncay

    The aim of this research is to reveal how communication and interaction in classrooms can be enhanced with the communicative approach education provided for social studies teachers. The participants of this research were five social studies teachers working at secondary schools and their 7th grade students, N = 110. The data collection tools adopted in this research were video and audio recordings, documents, semistructured interview forms, and stimulated recall interview forms. The data obtained from recordings of lessons were analyzed using the communicative approach, and the data obtained from document review and interview were analyzed using the content analysis method. The results of the study show that social studies curriculum contains items that require both dialogical and authoritative discourses and that the course books are prepared accordingly, but teachers as the practitioners of the program do not conduct their lessons accordingly. Instead, all the teachers participating in the research used only authoritative (interactive/noninteractive) approaches and they did not include dialogical (interactive/noninteractive) approaches at all. This situation, which is seen as a problem in terms of conducting successful in-class communication and interaction, has been solved in three action cycles with one of the teachers. The teacher who used only authoritative (interactive/noninteractive) approaches in her lessons prior to the trainings started to include dialogical (interactive/noninteractive) approaches too. It was also observed that the teacher's impression of the lessons carried out by adopting the communicative approach model was positive. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the communicative approach model is applicable in the social studies course. It can be said that the trainings given to the teachers created awareness about the use of the communicative approach model in classroom communication and interaction and provided benefits in diversifying discourse styles.

    Discrete sizing design of steel truss bridges through teaching-learning-based and biogeography-based optimization algorithms involving dynamic constraints

    Artar, Musa; Carbas, Serdar

    In this paper, Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) algorithms are presented to examine the optimum discrete sizing design of steel truss steel bridges for minimizing the structural weights. Both proposed nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithms are encoded in MATLAB with integration of a structural analysis program (SAP2000) via open application programming interface (OAPI). At the end, optimal steel profiles are selected from available discrete section lists by satisfying the structural restrictions, such as stress and displacement, involved by American Institute of Steel Construction-Allowable Stress Design (AISC-ASD). Additional to these, optimum discrete sizing design process is performed for the cases with and without dynamic constraints, which are adopted from natural periods of the bridge structures with respect to the mode shapes. The algorithmic performance of the proposed algorithms outperforms on both planar and spatial steel truss bridges. To prove this obtained optimal solutions are compared with previously reported optimum designs attaining via different metaheuristics. The final optimum discrete sizing designs of the steel truss bridges reveal that the proposed TLBO and BBO algorithms can easily be applied to discrete nonlinear programming problems.

    Comparison of kinetics of Cr (III) ions removal from wastewater using raw and activated montmorillonite minerals

    İrdemez, Şahset; Durmuş, Gül; Kul, Sinan; Torun, Fatma Ekmekyapar; Bingül, Züleyha

    In this study, kinetics of the removal of Cr (III) from the waters by adsorption have been investigated using montmorillonite natural clay that was obtained from the vicinity of Narman, Erzurum in Turkey. Activation energy, thermodynamic values and adsorption kinetics were determined. In addition, the trials were repeated by subjecting to the same adsorbent activation process. The values found for these two adsorbents were compared. As a result of the experiments, the parameters affecting the adsorption kinetics were examined. It was determined that the adsorption process could be best depicted by pseudo second order reaction kinetics. Using pseudo second order reaction rate constants, ΔH° =-25.791 kJ mol-1 and ΔS° = 106.19 joule mol-1 were calculated for raw adsorbent. For the activated adsorbent, ΔH° =-18,806 kJ mol-1 and ΔS° = 79.37 joule mol-1 were calculated. That ΔG° increases as temperature increases indicates; adsorption is more spontaneous at high temperatures. Negative ΔH° values show that the reaction is exothermic. The positive values of ΔS° indicate increased randomness at the adsorbent/solution interface during the adsorption of chrome.

    ‘The sequential organisation of gossip talk’

    Aslan, Tugba

    Gossip, in its most general sense, means talking about absent third parties with regards to their strengths and weaknesses in an evaluative or informative tone. It is a common phenomenon and has been investigated from different perspectives of research such as human sciences, behavioural psychology, anthropology and so forth. Although it is a prevalent research topic amongst researchers of various disciplines, the sequential organisation of gossip talk still keeps its authenticity in terms of real-life talk-in-action research. This study aims to provide a micro-analysis of the sequential organisation of gossip talk adopting an emic perspective. The data set consists of a collection of 90 hours of audio data collected from a retirement home in Turkey. The data are analysed using Conversation Analysis. The results of the micro-analysis of authentic gossip talk points to a systematicity in gossip talk sequences in terms of initiation, response and closing.

    Frozen image analysis of a superconducting magnetic levitation system consisting of multi-surface superconductor and Halbach array permanent magnet configuration

    Cansiz, Ahmet; Reisoglu, Ahmet F.; Ozturk, Kemal; Abdioglu, Murat

    Levitation strength provided by high temperature superconductors are limited for device applications. Although superconducting material properties are continuously improving, there is still strong necessity of efficient design mechanisms for the superconducting magnetic levitation systems. Studies in the last decades have shown that combining multi-surface superconductor and permanent magnet components in optimum configurations has improved the levitation forces. In this respect, Halbach arraying permanent magnets interacting with multi-surface superconductors has become one of the most utilized methods. This paper investigates frozen image modeling of the levitation and guidance forces on a particular levitation system, which consists of a permanent magnet guideway and high temperature superconductor car body. The levitation enhancement is investigated for three configurations according to force interactions between the guideway and car body. These configurations are based on the use of single permanent magnet-single superconductor, Halbach array permanent magnets-single superconductor and Halbach array permanent magnets-multi-surface superconductors. The vertical and guidance forces for the present configurations were calculated in terms of field cooling and zero field cooling conditions by using frozen image model with magnetic dipole approximation. The predicted force calculations are analyzed in terms of vertical and lateral traverses of the car body respect to guideway for particular measurement distances. The force analysis provided by frozen image model qualitatively agree with the previously obtained experimental data.

    Application of Third-Order Schemes to Improve the Convergence of the Hardy Cross Method in Pipe Network Analysis

    Niazkar, Majid; Türkkan, Gökçen Eryilmaz

    In this study, twenty-two new mathematical schemes with third-order of convergence are gathered from the literature and applied to pipe network analysis. The presented methods were classified into one-step, two-step, and three-step schemes based on the number of hypothetical discharges utilized in solving pipe networks. The performances of these new methods and Hardy Cross method were compared by solving a sample pipe network considering four different scenarios (92 cases). The results show that the one-step methods improve the rate of convergence of the Hardy Cross method in 10 out of 24 cases (41%), while this improvement was found to be 39 out of 56 cases (69.64%) and 5 out of 8 cases (62.5%) for the two-step and three-step methods, respectively. This obviously indicates that the modified schemes, particularly the three-step methods, improve the performance of the original loop corrector method by taking lower number of iterations with the compensation of relatively more computational efforts.

    Effect of sample deformation in longitudinal axis on material parameter extraction by waveguides

    Hasar, Ugur Cem; Kaya, Yunus; Ozturk, Gokhan; Ertugrul, Mehmet

    An analysis was performed for examining the consequences of sample deformation in longitudinal axis in the sample-loaded non-resonant waveguide techniques. Vertical and horizontal deformations were first simulated to understand the change in field distributions and corresponding scattering parameters. Then, effects of sample length, dielectric constant, and loss factor for these deformations on extracted electromagnetic properties were analyzed using simulated results. Finally, S-parameter measurements were carried out to understand the effect of vertical deformation on permittivity results and to examine any improper sample preparation by hand-made and machine-made samples by applying a statistical model based on mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and confidence interval. It was noted that extracted dielectric constants of each tested dielectric sample (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl-chloride) were within the confidence interval range of 90% while their retrieved loss factors were within the confidence interval range of 90%, 95%, or 98%.

    Yücel, Nur; İspirli, Hümeyra; Mercan, Emin; Erdoğan, Ümmügülsüm; Dertli, Enes

    This study aimed to synthesize zinc nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities using alternan (ZnNPs-Alt) produced by Lactobacillus reuteri E81 as the stabilizing agent. For the characterization of the ZnNPs-Alt, UV–vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM and EDX analysis, XRD, FTIR and DSC analysis were applied. The functional role of ZnNPs-Alt was tested by determination of their antioxidant activities by DPPH and CUPRAC methodologies and their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Results of this study demonstrated that alternan was utilized as a successful stabilizer to produce crystalline, thermally stabile ZnNPs-Alt with a particle size of ∼ 100 nm. Importantly, strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were observed for ZnNPs-Alt in a concentration dependent manner. These findings confirmed the role of alternan as a stabilizing agent for the production of ZnNPs-Alt with functional roles.

    Processing of skim milk powder made using sonicated milk concentrates: A study of physicochemical, functional, powder flow and microbiological characteristics

    Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Dinkul, Muhsin; Aydemir, Serdar

    The impact of sonication treatment (0, 5, 15, 30, and 60 min) of skim milk concentrates on physicochemical, functional, powder flow behaviour, and microbiological properties of milk powders was investigated. Sonication resulted in higher firmness and consistency of concentrates with increasing treatment time. In milk powders, higher L∗ and a∗ values were observed in sonicated samples. D[4,3] parameter of milk powders was between 8.1 and 255.0 μm, and sonication for 60 min decreased this value. Sonication significantly decreased the caking, cohesion, and compaction properties of samples. The flow stability of sonicated samples was higher than that of the control. Sonication can result in improved flow characteristics of milk powders in terms of caking, cohesion, and compaction. These observations could relate to effects of sonication on casein micelle, whey proteins denaturation, whey/whey or casein/whey aggregation. Sonication of milk concentrates was also effective in reducing the microbial counts of milk powders.

    This study investigated the effects of dietary probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri E81 [LRE], Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG [LRG]), yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae S81 [SCS]), and their combined supplementation on fattening performance (BW, DWG, FI, and FCR), meat quality, and rumen and duodenum histology in lambs. The study material comprised ninety 2.5-month-old Anatolian Merino lambs, and the trial was conducted for 70 days. Nine trial groups, each composed of 10 animals, were established. This study demonstrated that, when compared to the control group, the best fattening performance was achieved in the lambs that received 600 ppm of dietary LRE. Neither visceral organ weights nor rumen and duodenum histology was affected in the groups that received the tested feed supplements. Of the meat colour parameters investigated, the L* value was observed to have increased in the groups that were given feed supplements, excluding Groups LRE-600 and SCS-300. It was determined that the probiotic supplements had no effect on the a* and b* colour parameters, but affected the meat pH value. In conclusion, the assessment of the effects of different doses of dietary probiotics, yeast, and probiotic-yeast combinations on performance parameters, visceral organ weights, and meat quality in Anatolian Merino lambs showed that the best results were achieved in the group that received 600 ppm of LRE alone.

    Fatty acid compositions and quality of egg and performance in laying quails fed diet with hesperidin

    Özbilgin, Abdullah; Kara, Kanber; Gümüş, Recep; Tekçe, Emre

    This study investigates the effects of hesperidin on eggs’ internal and external quality parameters, the fatty acid in egg yolk, and the nutrient content adding different amounts of hesperidin to the quail diets. A total of 150 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided into three groups (0% hesperidin group (n = 5 × 10) (control group; HES0), 0.1% hesperidin group (HES1), and 0.2% hesperidin group (HES2)) with five replicates. It has been found in the analysis that hesperidin did not affect the weight and thickness of the shell from the external quality parameters of the egg (P > 0.05), but in terms of the HES1 and HES2 groups, the weight of the egg increased compared to the HES0 group, while the fracture resistance of the shell decreased (P < 0.05). Eggs’ internal quality parameters have shown that the egg white width (P < 0.05) and the yolk diameter (P < 0.01) increased in the HES1 and HES2 groups, and the length of white decreased (P < 0.05). It has been found that n-6 (linoleic acid) and n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid) fatty acid values increased significantly according to hesperidin dosage (P < 0.05) from the parameters of the composition of fatty acids of the eggs. As a result, it is believed that hesperidin added to the diet has a generally positive effect on the fatty acid composition and internal and external quality parameters of the eggs and would be appropriate to use it as a feed additive.
